Yangzhou Chao Fan, often also called "Yeung Chow", or "Young Chow", is a rice dish whose name originates from the city of Yangzhou in eastern Jiangsu province, China. “Chao Fan” is literally translated: Fried Rice. Nowadays, this dish is a staple in Chinese restaurants all over the world and has many protein variations. In this recipe we share the secret of the perfect Yangzhou fried rice.

The main difference between Yangzhou fried rice and normal fried rice lies in the ingredients and preparation method. Yangzhou fried rice differs from normal fried rice by using multiple proteins such as pork, shrimp, chicken and eggs.
The key to making the perfect Yangzhou rice dish is to use day-old, refrigerated rice. The rice will then be drier and help absorb the flavors without making the dish mushy.
